this renewable and demand resource which is being fostered by develop and and technology and by policy initiatives in 39 states and at the federal level. finally, new environmental regulations are also contributing to changes in power supply. although the drivers of power supply changes are largely outside the commission's jurisdiction, we must be aware of and adapt to these departments to carry out our responsibilities to ensure just and reasonable rates, and reliable power grid, and fair and efficient electric and gas markets. my colleagues will discuss several of the ways we are responding. we divide up these topics and i want to focus the balance of my testimony on another critical aspect of our work, reliability and grid security. ensuring reliability means that the commission and nerc, really take care of two things. one is the day-to-day nuts and bolts activities like trimming chains and sending released to keep the lights on, emergency response but in the second is emerging issues like cybersecurity. i believe we're making progress on both fronts. in the past three years you vo

the second problem is that this new technology that is pretty widely available already, called 3-d printing, has made it really easy to make firearms that comply with the existing law but are still potentially undetectable. why is that? because to be a legal weapon, you have to have a certain percentage of the weapon be metal so that it can be picked up by a metal detector or a x-ray machine. but because we can now make very creatively constructed weapons with 3-d printers, that piece of metal can be easily removed before it goes through a metal detector and still be used without the metal on the other side of the detection unit. thus, essentially erasing the benefit of having a metal component if the metal component can just be stripped out. it's a pretty simple update that we have to make here. all we have to say is that the metal piece of the gun has to be integral to the firing mechanism of the gun so that if you take the metal out to get it through a metal detector, it doesn't work on the other end. but, mr. president, we're having a hard time getting that commonsense update, just reco

so there's also an interest in aero stats and the technology that could bring. for anyone who's been in the arctic, you know, we speak about that. and certainly, we're opening up a new set of beachfront properties up there at a much greater rate than we expected. but anybody who has been up in the arctic and actually worked or flown over the arctic will know for a good portion of the year it really is a terribly inhospitable place and a very, very difficult set of challenges whenever you want to operate anything up there. so it's of great interest to us, and i think likely we will find a mixture of manned aircraft and unmanned vehicles and tethered vehicles to provide us that capability. >> very good with. stephanie? >> sir, i have one question about the norad strategic review, if i could ask you to put your prior hat back on. with norad in charge of air space, wanting control for 50 years and then adding an additional mission of maritime warning, can you talk about what the future may hold for norad and what kind of additional mission sets that from a canadian
